Apparantly the St Catharines TRU only got one case in and was sold out in an hour.  Which means I still don't have any 25th Joes  :mrt:

When I got there on release day, there was only 1 cobra pack left. Someone else beat me.

They are all gone in my area.  Good thing I got them when I had the chance as who knows when CAN TRU will be re-stocking.

If you mean - *If* they will be restocking.

Not easy to build hype about a product when there isn't the equivalent of a swindle/bonecrusher to warm the pegs and show people that they actually stocked the product in the first place.

Considering Wave 2 is showing up in the USA, I wouldn't be surprised if this is all for Wave 1, as they're likely out of production.

Well, the wave 1 single packs that haven't been released yet.  But the rise of the Canadian dollar makes sence to get them from the States.

I happend to have wave 1 signle cards in stock but just one set with the variant as well as the battle packs and i am expecting wave 2 this week. if anyone is going to the action figure expo, i will be set up

I also saw the battle packs at my tru in mississauga last monday and then i went back on tuesday and they were gone.

I think the reason we have been getting them up here is because the states tru have a lot of them in strock so they more than likely thought might as well send some cases up here and see how they do since walmart does not have any.  I also found out that only certain tru got two case(6 packs) and most got 1 case(3 packs).

how much are they selling for at toysrus?

39.99

And with the Canadian dollar over the American one, this price is hard to justify keeping your coin in Canada.
